And no, I never shot my eye out.

I cronographed some 110gr bullets from my Browning B92 at 2200 fps.That would be effective on most anything close up.
I’m trying to sell a Ruger Lightweight Commander if anyone is in the North Dallas area and is interested.
MG42 is DEFINITELY on my bucket list, and has been since I saw one in action when I was 7 years old. I held a BAR but very sad to admit, they wouldn’t let me fire it, lol. I actually found a transferrable 42 about 5 years ago. I remember they wanted about $40,000 for it, too. I got to spray some M1919 when I was a teenager. That thing is way cooler than it looks. Crappy ergonomics, but happiness=belt fed
I believe you are correct. It was the “I”-talian name that sidetracked me. Happy thanksgiving
And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Ruger Mk IV Hunter in Steel via employee contact yesterday... that was MY black Friday :)
Read a review on it,,,
Model HO12MR
Cycles well with .357 mag.
Lots of issues cycling .38 Special..
Perhaps I can find a Deal on one.
And no, I never shot my eye out.
I have the .30-30 with the octagon barrel, brushed brass receiver. It feels like an M1 Garand since it weighs so much. The weight impedes the recoil so if you need a second shot your crosshairs aren't far from the first round. Tube fed, not side gate so it's a purist deer rifle. Once sighted in every round is exactly the same as the last one. A wow rifle.
Anyone know of an automatic with an easy slide?

Yeah, me too. I always wondered what happened to a neighbor’s WWII machine gun which he showed us on Thanksgiving about 55 years ago. All I remember is it was compact (carbine?) and was in nice, almost shiny condition. Guy died almost 30 years ago in a kayak accident near Wenatchee. I always think of that gun on Thanksgiving.
Mine didn’t like HPs - jams - so I switched to plastic-tipped Hornady HPs. Works/cycles beautifully now.
I’ve never tried .38s in it, but be wary of HPs being just a ‘hair’ shorter than ball ammo.
I’ve only taken my Ruger Single Six out once but I liked it. Next trip will take the 22 Magnum cylinder.
Steel lips mags do too.
Mrs. L and I are fortunate enough to each own a Kimber. Hers is a full size Stainless Raptor. I opted for the Commander length of that model. They’re pure heaven to shoot. And shoot them we do.
Best,
L
Wow, a long lived FIL.
